Hello,
I have had an offer succesfully accepeted :j so now i am waiting on surveyors and the rest of the long process on the house. I am not going to be living in my house for the first 6 months so i can save some money and decorate the whole house while nothing is in. I understand i dont have to pay council tax if i do this. But on my local council tax it says on a unfrunished house........does this mean just furniture so kitchen items such as fridges, cookers can be installed is that still ok?? and it says exempt for 6 months could someone explain please to a slow person.
Thank You

Hi, you should be able to get Class C exemption...
Class C - The property is vacant and substantially unfurnished. Exempt for up to six months. (A 10% discount applies thereafter until the property is furnished)
I couldn't find the definition of 'unfurnished' though, you could ring your council and ask them.0
